Hey All,
I thought it was about time I stopped lurking and started posting given that my build has almost started.
Plans have just come back approved and am now just waiting on City West Water to provide the PIC number then it's all set to begin.
A little bit about me I guess....
I bought a block of land nearly a year ago to the day in Truganina which settled back in Jan this year... this was actually the second block I purchased as the first fell through due to the incompetence of the land agent who sold me a block which was already sold!! (a recession notice hadn't been issued before the block was onsold to me!!) I was actually lucky that it fell through otherwise my house would have been swamped by gigantic double storey houses on both sides!
I digress slightly... I've been working with a small builder (a friend of a cousin who's building with him as well) and we have pretty much ended up custom designing the house which has been great. I don't remember how many revisions were made before both the builder and I were happy with the design and of course the price, but hopefully it should work out how I've pictured it in my head!!
Anyway, the floor plan is below. It’s a bit different in some ways, but I like the fact that you can’t see the back of the house from the front door (the pantry wall hides the back of the house)
And this is the front facade:
The colour selections are still slightly up in the air, but am close to making a decision. (any suggestions would be greatly appreciated)
So far the selections are as follows:
Bricks: Austral Newport
Mortar: White (flush)
Roof Tiles: Char Grey (bristile)
Gutter: Jasper (I’m not sure about this)
Fascia: Paperbark
Downpipes: Paperbark
Windows: Paperbark
Front Door: No idea... probably should think about this a bit more...
Internals, I thnk I’ll be using the colour ‘Feather White’ as a base colour and then think about adding other colours later on when I have more of an idea.
Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated. ( :
